Abstract

Everyday life involves the use of laundry detergents. They are essential in maintaining hygienic conditions. Water and plant-based cleaning solutions were used in the past to clean clothing. But as living conditions have improved and technology has advanced quickly, there has been a rise in the demand for and use of laundry detergents, which have gradually supplanted the long-standing practice of using plant species to clean clothing and textiles. This review's main goal was to investigate how the growing manufacturing and use of contemporary laundry detergents has affected the environment. This was accomplished by employing qualitative content analysis to examine the numerous research studies on laundry detergents that were published in scientific journal articles, the environmental regulations for laundry detergents in different nations, and other published scientific publications on the topic. The conclusion is that while technical developments in detergent and soap formulas have improved the washing of clothing, they are having a negative impact on the environment and human health. The release of laundry detergents and/or their prepared solutions into the environment presents a serious risk in terms of loading wastewater, treating it later, using resources, and getting rid of packaging debris. The findings presented in these research, despite their limited dissemination, offer important insights for the creation of laundry detergents that take into account environmental and economic factors while utilizing a variety of botanical resources. The most significant studies' and reports' findings are utilized to suggest crucial new lines of inquiry for upcoming investigations into the systems and technologies needed to create environmentally friendly laundry detergents for residential usage.
